The tale of the $1000 boxster

Looks like fun.

If it is an insurance write off, are you sure you can get re-licensed once fixed (assuming that is what you intend)?

Re licensing depends on the classification of the original insurance write off. Some are parts only write offs.
Cases where rebuilding is permitted have stricter repair guidelines and recertification standards. Over here, rebuilders have to do a standard vehicle safety inspection as well as a structural safety to verify vehicle integrity after repairs.
Insurance may also be an issue, as some companies won't insure a rebuilt vehicle.
To the OP,, have fun. That looks like an interesting project.

its over 15 years old and the vin hasn't been cancelled, thats the rules over here,
I may not even register it, just get a permit and drive once and a while,
plus we have a couple of events a year such as hill climb and motorkahna type event in my town,
Im actually more of a fixer tinkerer than a driver, between myself and my wife we have 14 or so cars, only 4 of them registered haha most of them projects
